Illustrator CC 2017 update saga cont.
• Why doesn't this fucking thing remember my workspace layout? It does keep the tool menus I want but doesn't keep them open and it doesn't keep my tool bar in a single column, so every time I boot up Illy, I have to click 7 things for no good reason.
• "Show Anchor points in selection tool and shape tools"!! Thank fuck for that - that was the single-most worrisome change - I'm sure 99% of people don't need to see their anchor points when an object's selected, but for me it's critical. that was only two days of swearing.
• the 2014 bug where the layer menu preview wouldn't update colours from main object is now fixed. thankfully.
• Holy shit - a positive - Smart Guides and Snap have improved massively.. a bit spastochaotic with shiot flashing around, much technically much better.
• I don't like some of the new icons and pointers (I'll get used to them)
• The above plus points are pretty much the only added value I have over three years worth of updates - equivalent to about two upgrade cycles pre-CC.... remind me again why I pay so much for this shit?
• ...and speaking of money-wringing cuntery, I dislike, resent and have no use for 'Search Adobe Stock' and 'Add fronts from Typekit' being displayed so prominently in my menu bars. Fuck you, Adobe, stop advertising in the product i'm over-paying for.
- Keep banging that drum, detritus.
Adobe will most definitely change their tack when they read your whinges
/sdetritus - Oh yeah, rounded UI buttons? I'm on Windows, literally wtf are you changing my UI? It's not much, but it's additional cognitive load I don't need.detritus
- I figured the workspace layout always changing was my fault, somehow. sorry to hear i'm not the only oneGnash
- Oh, and I can't downgrade back to 2014, should I wish to? That's really bad. REALLY bad, imho. If any of <this was highly disruptive, I'd be utterly fucked.detritus
- I've been finding typekit useful. especially when I have a clent gig and I don't want to buy the needed typefaceGnash
- It's a known known in the Adobe forums - I've meant to add my tuppenceworth, but I forgot my adobe password (a string of expletives) again.detritus
- I spose old me might see some value in it, but I insist clients send me their fonts outlined and I have a shitload of fonts anyway. It's just an advert to me :(detritus
- I didn't realize that you get typeset with the subscription - you can load up to 100 fonts (not 100 families, mind you).Gnash
- my font manager (suitcase) loads the typekit fonts automatically - it's pretty seamlessGnash
- yep Typekit has been a v.useful added bonus of CC subscription for mefadein11
- OH! I forgot the most important improvement, my apologies Adobe..
• Illy now has file recovery for retrieving documents after a crash. Excellent!detritus - ^ and needed on a near daily basis.ETM
- Keep banging that drum, detritus.
